About Samantha

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing the growth and development of children has been my professional focus for over a decade. I hold a graduate degree with specialized coursework in early child development, which informs my patient and calm approach to care. Whether I am leading outdoor sports, facilitating educational games, or engaging in creative crafts, I strive to make a positive, lasting impact on every child I support. I am highly comfortable enforcing household rules and maintaining a reliable, structured environment for up to four children. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications to ensure your family's safety. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and swimming supervision. I always follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day. I look forward to bringing my imaginative energy into your home and becoming a trusted partner in your family's daily life.

Sam was our regular weekly babysitter for several years and was wonderful! We have three kids (All were elementary age during the time she was helping us) and Sam would play games with them and get them to bed on time! She was very reliable and easy to communicate with which was so helpful as well. Eventually the kids just got old enough that we didn’t need a weekly sitter but definitely recommend her!
